(제가 이번 蠻行(만행)을 저지르면서 가장 무서웠던 순간이 언제였는지 아세요? 머리카락이 쭈뼛이 섰을 정도로 놀랐던 순간은, 잘린 머리가 수건걸이에서 떨어졌던 순간도 아니고 머리 없는 몸뚱아리가 내게 달려들었던 순간도 아니고 開腹(개복)한 임신부의 뱃속에서 움직이는 胎兒(태아)를 보았던 순간보다 더 긴장하게 했던 일. 남이 들으면 오히려 이해 안 가는 일이지만, 그건 사체를 토막 내는 와중에 아들 녀석에게 전화가 온 순간이었어요. 전화벨 소리에 놀란 게 아니라 당황하는 내 목소리를 듣고 “감기 아직 안 나았어 아빠?” 하며 물어보는 말이 “아빠, 난 다 알고 있어. 그러지마”하는 것 같아 등골이 오싹 했었어요.
하던 작업(?)을 중단하고 너무 긴장해서 사체 토막을 늘어놓은 채 밥을 먹었어요. 긴장하니까 배가 고파지더라구요. 이은영씨도 배고프면 밥부터 먹는다는 것처럼 사체 정리도 안 하고, 라면은 좀 그래서(?) 그 늦은 시간에 밥을 해먹었어요.)
TRANSLATED: The most scary moment was not when an amputated head fell from the stand, not when a body without a head ran towards me, nor when I saw a baby in an pregnant women. It was when I received my son's call when I was cutting the body. I became so uneasy that I had to stop the work and eat lunch.
